]]>In case you thought that wearing a bag on his head, the plagiarism allegations, and attacking people was it for Shia LaBeouf‘s PR campaign over the past two years, think again. Now, the increasingly demented actor has taken to the Internet with a freestyle rap, while not half bad, isn’t the sort of thing that grown white men do.

]]>If the only thing keeping you from developing your own Jurassic Park was the uncertainty of the cost, I’m happy to say that you can now get to building. Courtesy of Fandango, a video has been assembled that allows us, with very little precision whatsoever, to determine how much a Jurassic Park would be for us.

It turns out it wouldn’t be cheap. It’s far more money than most of us have. Did we need a video to tell us that? Not really, but if we all pooled our money, we’d probably have enough to build it. So leave your PayPal email in the comments, and I’ll send you an invoice for your share of the park (1/4 raptor).

]]>Do you like Jean-Claude Van Damme? Nevermind. Just keep reading regardless of how you would have answered this. He’s stepping out in a new, slightly less self-aware film called Pound of Flesh, in which the Belgian action star wakes up in the familiar tub full of ice, only to discover his kidney has been jacked.

There’s a wrinkle to this otherwise run-of-the-mill organ theft story:

HIS DYING NIECE NEEDS THAT KIDNEY!

They pissed off the wrong aging Belgian action star this time. Maybe he could just go down this route:

]]>The Grammys are coming soon, which, whatever, but at least that provides a flimsy enough pretense for Jimmy Kimmel to get back in the saddle and let loose some singin’ celebs readin’ mean tweets. These tweets seem predominately looks-based, which are about as mean as you can get. And uncreative. But fortunately, the celebs know what they’re in for, so it’s not like this should come as a surprise.

I mean, who would want to see celebrities reading nice tweets? No one, right?

It looks like the talk show hosts have been busting out the big guns this week. There can be only one Jimmy. But which?

]]>The Internet, never one to leave a stone unturned, has turned its weird, obsessive gaze to the science and physics of the Kool-Aid man knocking through walls in his grand entrance. Why?

Shut up. That’s why.

Some (really annoying) dude named Josh from poster VSauce3 helps us work through the calculations, mass, resistance, etc to determine if a giant anthropomorphic pitcher of juice could actually break walls. I know this is all an exercise in ridiculousness, but I still don’t think I trust Josh when it comes to matters of science.

However, the science all seems kinda sound, and if you can get past this spazz, you might agree with the conclusion.

]]>Conan O’Brien and his TBS team have been nice enough to give us a season 4 supercut this holiday, which means that we feel no regret about never having watched the show, or completely cutting the cord altogether. Of course, they may know something we don’t about media, because sharing clips like these has resulted in a billion views for his YouTube channel. In case you aren’t familiar with traffic metrics…

That’s a lot of views.

Here’s the clip. It’s pretty damn funny, and pound-for-pound, one of the funniest clips I’ve seen in a while:

Setting it to music with Conan’s tired face totally seals the deal. Enjoy.

]]>Friends was a pretty funny sitcom. The characters were well defined, and there was a great balance between broad humor and character-specific jokes. However, if you lose the laughs, what’s left?

Not much of anything, it would seem.

YouTube user Tunglebrek (?) snipped out the jokes from an episode of Friends (“The One with the Apothecary Table”) and what we’re left with is…not much. The plots, which seemed well-developed in context, now seem bizarrely one-note.

On the plus side, if they had aired the show this was, audiences would have been abel to navigate an entire season in an hour or so. That’s a plus. But then they’d have to go in to ER without having experienced all that levity. And that just would have been too much.

]]>As the steady stream of viralNick Offermanvideos continues to roll in, we’re given a certain comfort that we won’t lose this guy when Parks and Rec goes off the air in March.

In this video from clickbait site Elite Daily, Nick Offerman gives an ode to the most noble of beverages, whiskey. It’s got a very European sweater-y tilt to it, and it just might warm you up if it’s cold outside. If it doesn’t, then watch some Parks and Recreation and drink some whiskey. That should do it.

]]>In case you had forgotten about Guardians of the Galaxy, or Chris Pratt…hey, that’s what we’re here for. We’ve got a featurette of the visual effects behind the Marvel smash hit Guardians of the Galaxy. It goes without saying that this was an effects-heavy shoot, and there might be little groundbreaking stuff here, but the sheer scope of the effects is pretty impressive. Like Game of Thrones, even the stuff that doesn’t LOOK impressive is pretty crazy. Which then makes it look impressive.

So, in case you were short on Guardians hype or Chris Pratt appearances, we’ve got a video for you.

And rather than go through the many, many examples supporting this thesis, you can just watch this extended video of all the SNL promos Chris Pratt did for his upcoming hosting of the show’s 40th season premiere.

He’s just about the most natural person in front of the camera. The comedy that most actors strive for, as well as their work to portray a level of comfort while being filmed. Ole’ Pratty’s got that in spades. I mean, who else can make seven minutes of video and have all of it be charming. It’s a gift.

]]>Wouldn’t it be great if we could make our own Hunger Games without having to even pick up a camera? Surely, someone’s already captured on film something close to our vision, so why recreate the wheel? At least, that’s the thinking that went into this supercut of blockbusters that have been recreated using stock footage.

It’s amazing how close you can get to the actual work! (No it isn’t.)

Take some delight in knowing that this cut was actually assembled by Dissolve, a stock footage company. They stand behind their principles.

]]>Do you want to live in a world where Jessica Rabbit is not the sexiest girl on the block? Me neither. But that’s what may have been, had an early (1983) effort by Disney called Roger Rabbit, found success and supplanted its successor, the 1988 Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

The video content is pretty unremarkable, except for all the hallmarks that remind us exactly how long ago 1983 was. It was a LONG time ago. You can tell because everything looks like shit, and a host is walking around with a full-on, elementary school-style tape recorder around his neck.

But back to the matter at hand: This failed attempt featured Paul “Pee-Wee” Reubens as the voice of the rabbit himself, and a less-than-sultry Jessica Rabbit. Let’s take a moment to appreciate how everything turned out.

]]>In one of the thousands of corners of Reddit, there’s a subreddit (a “category,” if you will) of “shower thoughts.” Shower thoughts are those trivial epiphanies that you come to, then say, “Huh,” as you just as quickly forget them. But not one will forget them when they come from the mouth of Nick Offerman.

Mashable put together Simply Genius Shower Thoughts with Nick Offerman, and it lives up to the title. It’s genius, and it’s got Ron Swanson himself in a picturesque setting, spouting dime-store wisdom.

]]>Rather than rushing out of the gate to get his remarks memorialized on Robin Williams‘ death, David Letterman, the grumpy talk show host with the heart of gold, took a little longer than most to get his thoughts out there. Maybe they won’t go viral or be trending, but the extra time seemed to allow Letterman to wrestle with some emotions and put together a TV tribute that was worth the wait.

Letterman was always a legend in the world of comedy, as Williams was, so their paths intersected with frequency during their careers. Letterman shares those encounters and their effects in this clip.

]]>Now’s a pretty good time to get familiar with the Marvel universe. I mean, five years ago would have been a better time — before the deluge of Marvel films at the box office — but considering that Marvel and Disney have pretty much earmarked every single weekend in the future for some sort of Marvel film, you might as well bone up on the world they’ve created.

This video makes it easy to follow every little inside joke in the universe. It’s not exactly Marvel 101, but if you’ve seen some of the films, this could offer a little depth in what may have otherwise just seemed like big summer fare.

]]>The pursuit of knowledge is no laughing matter. Neither is stealing Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek‘s thunder. Game show hosts are sacred, and rule their domains with a deft, fair hand.

That hand was slapped away by Mr. Ari Voukydis, who, upon not knowing the answer to a Final Jeopardy question, thought he would endear himself to Trebek and the audience by being a little cute with his answer.

His answer?

“This handsome gentleman,” with an arrow pointing up, indicating that he was the handsome gentleman in question.

The question?

“In 1891 this European said, ‘Perhaps my factories will put an end to war sooner than your congresses’”

Upon a cursory Google search, I discovered that Mr. Voukydis didn’t ever go on record with that quote, and probably wasn’t even alive in 1891, let alone owning many factories at that time.

We get most of our news from crawlers and Tweets, so why not dress it up in a pseudo-human looking package as these scientists did?

Right now the robot/android/whatever will only be giving news to patrons of Japan’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, but she’s got what it takes to be on primetime, baby!

]]>Everyone likes Top Gun. Except the anonymous fighter pilots who flew on behalf of an indeterminate evil country, somewhere over the Indian Ocean…present day. However, Tom Cruise’s couch jumping and general weirdness may have tainted one of the defining cinematic works of not only the 1980’s, but maybe the entire Cold War.

That’s right. I’m lumping Top Gun in with The Godfather, Dr. Strangelove, and many other far better films.

So, without Tom Cruise’s pervasive taint, we offer the final dog fight of Top Gun, with Cruise Control intact.

]]>We thought that since you’ve been pretty good so far (but well short of “great”), you are entitled to a Christmas present from Screen Junkies. So here you go. It’s a video featuring a fairly half-assed construction of a gingerbread replica of the most famous cartoon house in the world, that of the Simpson family hailing from Springfield.

So watch this brief, vaguely interesting video of a crappy house being made.

In 2007, two superfans decided to undertake a documentary project chronicling the short life of Fox’s Arrested Development for the sake of future generations. Little did they know that the public would clamor incessantly for the next five years until Netflix decided it would just be easier to give the baby its bottle and create some more episodes of the show.

Not ones to quit what they started, the duo of Neil and Jeff (no last names on their website) decided to continue because, hey, it’s not like collecting a bunch of hilarious interview footage on one of the most beloved shows is a waste of time. New epsiodes/movie or not, this thing serves its purpose!

]]>Sons of Anarchy has been giving us some pretty neat clips recently that give us background simultaneously into the lives of the characters and the actors playing them through their “Before the Anarchy” webisodes.

This go-round, we get privy to the goings on of Tig, one of the more colorful characters in a cast that is riddled with colorful characters. So drop on by, say hello, and try not to get your skull cracked in by this dude. Actually, don’t even say hello. That might just piss him off more.

]]>At this point, we’ll take whatever Wire-related content we can get. If that happens to be a Funny or Die spoof musical, so be it. The fact that it actually features the character Omar (Michael Kenneth Williams) is just the icing on the cake.

A few things readily apparent from this clip: Michael Kenneth Williams has a truly terrible singing voice. Just awful. And he can move his legs around Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance style. After viewing this, we can all agree that The Wire would have finally gotten some critical acclaim if they’d shoehorned a lot more song and dance numbers into it. Just like they do on the streets of Baltimore.

Well, wonder no more as the good folks at Sausage Party have managed to give us some insight. Take a gander at The Dark Knight Rises made with effin’ sausages.

You made the right choice. Now let your problems melt away as the sirens play you away toa simpler, happier place. Like Winterfell.

]]>Normally I dread doing interviews for press junkets. Why should I bother showing up to ask stupid questions that have already been asked a dozen times before, especially when bigger outlets are going to drown out anything interesting I might manage to glean. But when I was asked if I wanted to take part in an interview with Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie (in theaters March 2nd), I couldn’t pass up the chance. And it went about as I expected.

Right off the bat, the pair seemed bored with my questions (not that I blame them, especially considering I was the second-to-last interview of the day). So rather than continue out of common courtesy like a normal person would do, the pair launched into a bizarre improv scene for an audience of one (me) in which Eric acted like he had been spiked with magic mushrooms, Tim acted like nothing was wrong, and I was left to continue asking questions like the asshole I am.

On the one hand, it was extremely awkward and intimidating to have a giant like Eric Wareheim sitting doggie style on a chair staring at me with crazy eyes while his partner eyed me with contempt. But on the other hand, it turned out better than any interview I’ve ever attempted, and probably better than any interview I’ll ever attempt. So thanks, Tim and Eric.

And for anyone who actually cares about what was discussed:

Robert Loggia was already familiar with their work since he had been on Tom Goes To The Mayor.

David Liebe Hart is not homeless, but certainly has a “drifter quality.”

The pair had to make some tough choices about which Awesome Show! regulars to use, and they hope to use those who were left out in future projects.

There will never be a Tom Goes To The Mayormovie because they have no interest in it.

For the most part, their rabid fan base has been respectful of their privacy, and has not crossed any lines.

Tim has no idea who would win a shrimp eating contest between the two, and doesn’t care because it’s a stupid question (Thanks to the guys at Double Viking for suggesting that one).

Close, Mike. Very close. but a sneaky punch to the back of the head is actually a RABBIT punch. Rabbit. We were looking for “rabbit.” Toughbreak.

One look at that bespectacled man in the argyle sweater vest and it’s pretty clear that Mike never stops thinking about donkey punches. He subscribes to Donk Punch Quarterly, and he probably has one of those person-shaped punching bags in a face down position so that he can just donkey punch away all his frustrations.

This video would go from “video of the day” to “video of the year” if Alex Trebek walked over to Mike’s lectern, gave him a pound, blew it up, then as he was returning to his mark, gave Betsy a playful mock donkey punch, to which the audience responded in Arsenio Hall Show-fashion with uproarious “whoop whoop whoop”s.

]]>After six seasons of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” you probably thought “the Gang” had reached the bottom of the barrel. But as the following clips demonstrate, season seven will see Mac, Dee, Dennis and Frank sink to filthy new lows.

A lot has been made of Mac’s 50-pound weight gain and Frank getting married to a prostitute. But up until now, I haven’t heard much about Dee’s gratuitous use of the term “white stain,” or Dennis’ fondness for bringing up “balls to the chin.” Well, these new clips shed some light on those subjects. You’re welcome.
